Ah, ok. I was missing the info regarding the plot width. But then, in my opinion, it is even less understandable why 2.66m of the hallway is given from a width of 13.50m.

Where is southwest for you? What is the purpose of the U/T-wall at the bottom left between the utility room + children's room and hallway?

South is where the balcony = covered terrace is. The entrance area is north.

There are 3 of us, not 4. It is called the 2nd children's room because the general contractor does not want to have any discussions with the building authority about commercial use if we name it office/guest room. And even when we had friends with 2 children in our 70 sqm apartment, we missed the 2nd shower. So it won’t be in the house either.

We will still think about the too large hallway.

nd auch als wir in unserer 70qm Wohnukg Freunde mit 2 Kindern hatten, haben wir die 2. Dusche vermisst. Wird also in dem Haus auch nicht sein

Bob Dylan says "The Times are a changin"..... Of course, it is your house, I only want to point it out because I still see myself at the first house with the same decision and would have liked to correct it 20 years later. Whether resale value, changed life situation or whatever, I find a second shower in a residential house something that takes little space but can have a high benefit, at least the option to implement it later on. As you write, you had 70sqm and that was okay, yet you changed it to now 140sqm. It is okay with one bathroom just as with an extra shower, okay is a lot or a lot is possible. However, if your (still) child will be a 2-meter giant or a young woman and then there will also be a same-age long-term visitor..........hm......

Just quickly:

- If you reduce the hallway by one side panel, you will have significantly more space in the kitchen and can position the table more towards the kitchen. This also gives you more space in the living room.
- The 2nd children's room as an office wouldn't really need a closet niche and thus becomes much more compact. This impractical U/T wall is then eliminated, and you can nicely place a wardrobe there that is not directly visible.

What is the red-framed wall for? That is totally impractical for the walkway around the corner. I would leave it out.

You are right on one hand. But we decided that we will look at what we miss in the apartment and then implement it in the house. A second shower was never on the list.

- The second children's room as an office wouldn't really need a closet niche and will be much more compact that way. This impractical U/T wall will then fall away, and you can nicely place a coat rack there that is not directly visible.

What is the purpose of the wall outlined in red? That is totally impractical for the walking path around the corner. I would leave it out.

Thank you very much. That’s a good idea.

No problem, gladly. By the way, the dressing room could also be made a little bigger. That wouldn’t hurt the hallway and you’d have a larger movement area in the dressing room or maybe more wardrobe space.
